I don't think you can get around that. What I do is that if the site requires a registration, or has a full-screen cookie banner, then I just close that tab. End of story.
If I can't view it easily, then I will just not view it.
I've started doing a modified version of this too. If there's any kind of roadblock in front of the content, I'll ask myself to be honest about how important it's likely to be to me... and maybe like seven or eight times out of ten I'll just close it and move on, no regrets.
I apply this thinking to captchas as well, though my skip rate is probably a bit lower.
